Pod won't update to Google-Mobile_ads-SDK >=7.9.0

[Chris Ostmo]

In following the example for integrating AdMob/MobileAds, I have the following line of code:

[GADMobileAds configureWithApplicationID:@"MY ID"];

Xcode (7.3.1) throws the error:

No known class method for selector 'configureWithApplicationID:'

Looking at the release notes, I can see that this method was added in version 7.9.0, but when I do this:

pod repo update
pod update

I get this:

Analyzing dependencies
Downloading dependencies
...
Using Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK (7.8.1)
...

When I try to force the newer version, with this in Podfile:

pod 'Firebase/AdMob', '7.9.1'

I get this:

[!] Unable to satisfy the following requirements:

- `Firebase/AdMob (= 7.9.1)` required by `Podfile`

And when I use this:

[!] Unable to satisfy the following requirements:

- `Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK (= 7.9.1)` required by `Podfile`
- `Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK (= 7.8.1)` required by `Firebase/AdMob (3.3.0)`
- `Firebase/AdMob` required by `Podfile`

So, how do I get around this?

Here is my Podfile:

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'

target 'theplates' do
  # Uncomment this line if you're using Swift or would like to use dynamic frameworks
  # use_frameworks!

  # Pods for theplates
  pod 'Google/Analytics'
  pod 'Google/SignIn'
  pod 'Firebase/Core'
  pod 'Firebase/AdMob'
  pod 'Firebase/Crash'
  pod 'Firebase/AppIndexing'
  pod 'Firebase/Auth'

  target 'theplatesTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end

  target 'theplatesUITests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end

end

Thanks!

When I said "And when I use this:" I meant to paste this line:

pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK', '7.9.1'

[Chris Ostmo]

Never mind, I think.

I discovered that I could remove the line:

pod 'Firebase/AdMob'

And replace it with:

pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK', '~> 7.9.1'

And it update properly. Is this the correct way to go about it?

Hi Chris,

The Firebase pod spec has not yet been updated to the latest Mobile Ads SDK. So, you can use pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK', '~> 7.9.1' to get the latest SDK directly. This would not present any issue.

when I try to add pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK', '~> 7.9.1'

it says 

[!] Unable to satisfy the following requirements:

- `Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK (~> 7.9.1)` required by `Podfile`

None of your spec sources contain a spec satisfying the dependency: `Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK (~> 7.9.1)`.

You have either:

 * out-of-date source repos which you can update with `pod repo update`.

 * mistyped the name or version.

 * not added the source repo that hosts the Podspec to your Podfile.

Note: as of CocoaPods 1.0, `pod repo update` does not happen on `pod install` by default.

target 'nemesis' do

  # Comment this line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks

pod 'Firebase'

pod 'Firebase/Database'

pod 'Firebase/Core'

pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK', '~> 7.9.1'

  # Pods for nemesis

end

Hi Kemal,

What it means is that your CocoaPod local repo has not been updated to include our latest spec. This is a CocoaPod issue and anything to do with our SDK and you can update your repo as pointed out that log by this command - pod repo update.

Thanks,
